Transcendental Medication

As frontwoman for the Nymphs, Inger Lorre was one of the more notorious figures on the LA rock scene in the early '90's.

Lorre took nin years between the Nymphs one and only release and her 1990 solo return. Musically, Transcendental Medication is more varied than her work with the Nymphs, although the music isn't quite so kinetic. This is an album that packs a wallop even on slower numbers like the near-dirge "Gibby Haynes is next", the trippy T-Rex Groover "Yard of blond girls" and the poignant "Sweet release". Transcendental should appeal to those who remember the Nymphs. especially "She's not your friend" (apparently referring Courtney Love), while equally appealing to those just discovering Lorre. The music is heavy and chaotic and Lorre's confessional lyrics are often growled in a manner that demands the listener's attention.
